LatestThe survivors who managed to escape the horrors of the Monroe Shopping Centre are given a chance to reflect on their ordeal, looking back at the highs and lows of their experience, and sharing their views on what it takes to stay "alive" during a zombie apocalypse.
I Survived a Zombie Apocalypse is a horror-themed game show set in the future after a nationwide epidemic has transformed most of the country's population into ravenous zombies. The contestants have to survive in the Monroe Shopping Village and need to work together to secure their makeshift base as they try and avoid any contact with the flesh-eaters. Anybody still “alive” after seven days is then rescued and sent to a tropical quarantine zone as a reward.
Practical Effects
Charming janky zombie makeup, endearingly unconvincing.
Writing
Challenges actually clever for 2015 reality TV.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
BBC Three's brief 2015 experiment in horror-reality hybrid came right as The Walking Dead peaked, then vanished without a second season.
The 'zombies' were played by extras who developed distinct character movements, with some fans tracking specific 'regular' undead across episodes.
